Notices *(from p.40 - with the Congess notice above)* Message to I.V.U. Officers, Affiliated Societies Correspondents:- Dear Friends, Following the termination of Mr.Hanworth Walker's employment as paid secretary of the International Vegetarian Union, I have been asked by the President, Mrs Clarence Gasque, to act as Honorary Secretary for the time being, so that the work will not lapse. My appointment has since received the approval of Messrs W.A.Sibly, J.Hough and G.L.Rudd who were asked by the last I.V.U. Executive Committee to find an Honorary Secretary. I trust that, in this difficult situation, I may have your kind co-operation. It is understood, of course, that the arrangement will be re-considered at the next General Meeting of the I.V.U. In the meantime Mrs Gasque has generously agreed to maintain the Offices at 24, Binney Street, London, W.I. May I assure you of my desire to help the International Vegetarian Union in every possible way. I shall be most grateful to have your news for publication in order to keep our contacts up to date with developments. Your approval of my appointment will encourage me in this work, which I assure you is very dear to me. Yours sincerely Harry Harris (Hon. Secretary) --- [ Vegetarian World Forum Index](https://ivu.org/hv-news-periodicals-history-world-forum-index.html) | A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 766 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Vegan Shumai](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/shumai1_d2ddf6db3471e49424df11e178c9e179.jpg "Vegan Shumai")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-shumai.html "Vegan Shumai") #### [Vegan Shumai](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-shumai.html "Vegan Shumai") [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) [South Asia](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/south-asia.html) -
